Congrats on your 5th place, Jon.
And well deserved too (great shot!)
BTW, That's a nifty prize Hope it won't be too much of a learning curve. Seems quite nice.

I'll let you know.. The reviews are good.. I was after the top prize cos my monitors are hopelessly uncalibrated.. I'll have to enter again this month., I've already an idea for this one..

I got 3rd in my first competition.


I mean, it's not a competition or anything, but clearly I win.

Erm.. it was a compeition.. That was the point...

But then 3rd in a competition with three entrants is also last.. So clearly you also lose...

LOOOOOSERRRRRRR......
